BJP Leader Killed In Front Of Parents In Kerala

A 27-year-old RSS worker was hacked to death in front of his aged parents at Papinesseri in Kannur district, police said. Sujit, who suffered serious injuries in the attack, succumbed to injuries before reaching hospital last night. His aged parents and a brother tried to stop the assailants, who stormed into the house at around 11.30 PM lastnight, and suffered injuries in the process. Police said some CPI(M) sympathisers have been taken into custody for questioning. BJP has called for a ‘hartal’ in Kannur, Pappinessery and Azhikode areas to protest against the killing. While CPI-M has described the incident as a fallout of a local issue of insulting a girl, BJP leaders in Kannur havealleged that CPI-M was behind the attack to get over the embarrassment of arrest of Kannur district secretary, P Jayarajan, in a murder case. State Secretary Kodieryi Balakrishnan said the attack was not political and was a purely local issue and had nothing to do with the CPI-M. BJP state President Kummanam Rajasekharan said the attack cannot be considered an ‘isolated’ incident. “In Kannur, the attacks on BJP and RSS are a continuing affair. This is not an isolated incident,” he said.
